meditech 2018

VI meditech 2018 gathers the key stakeholders in the medical industry and outstands as the proper platform to generate qualified business contacts. Its aim is to boost the South American medical market and thus improve the country's healthcare sector. It has positioned itself as one of the most important business scenarios for the sector in Latin America, not only because it has the most complete commercial showcase of products and services related to the industry; but also, because it provides the ideal scenario in which individuals and representatives of the most important institutions in the sector, have the opportunity to update themselves by attending to The XIII International Congress of Hospitals and Clinics.

The Colombian market is promising: Political and economic conditions are stable. Strong investments are being made in the expansion of medical care and Colombia has the second highest population of all South American states after Brazil. The population is growing and it is getting older. These are already interesting drivers for the health industry. In addition, the local production of medical technology is limited and makes Colombia more dependent on imports. Colombia has excellent private hospitals and the country also wants to increase its support of medical tourism, prompting it to now import even more high-tech equipment.
